Opera in four acts (1875)
New Production! Myung-whun Chung, who from 2027 will become Music Director of the Teatro alla Scala, conducts this new production of Bizets Carmen, a co-production with Madrids Teatro Real and Londons Royal Opera House (whosepremiere staging was screened in cinemas in June 2024). Chung guides a cast that is ideally suited to their roles, with lauded French mezzo-soprano Clmentine Margaine as the free-spirited gypsy Carmen, Vittorio Grigolo as the soldier Don Jos who's willing to risk it all for her love, and Giorgi Manoshvili as the jealous bullfighter Escamillo. Director Damiano Michieletto and set designer Paolo Fantin reduce local colour, crafting instead a minimalist and compelling spectacle that foregrounds the protagonists inescapable fate.
